Thompson's job isn't to dictate play. His job when in possession is to play a simple pass to someone who can dictate the play. Second half Cov had all the possession for most of the half, Thompson doing the side of his job without the ball, combined with Gibson and Wilmot having good games meant it limited Cov to 1 shot on target in 90mins. And to be fair to the rest of the midfield I wouldn't say any of them crumbled if we're only letting them have one attempt on target. People think the game was won with Bakers goal, but the game was won by Thompson, Gibson and Wilmot keeping us in a position where we could still win the game with one extra chance. Beautiful team performance by the lads. If that’s all you expect from the player in that position every other midfielder on the books can do that in their sleep and more. Agree it was a good team performance. It sounds easy. In truth it's anything but. It's a fact borne out by the fact that the midfielders that command or move for massive money are generally the ones who have the self-discipline to play on those roles. Think Rice, Rodri, Makalele, Kante, Enzo, Casemiro, Caicedo, Busquets et al. It's incredibly hard to do and that's why they get paid what they get paid and get the wages they get. The team cannot function as well without them and they leave egos at the side to do a job for the team. It's no coincidence we win more when he's in. |

Burger has played all but a very small proportion of his career games at DM and hardly ever as an AM where he was on Saturday. He doesn’t look comfortable or good there. Continuing with this crazy experiment will devalue one of our highest value playing assets. No problem with using him as a box to box midfielder from a deep starting position as he does all his best work in the first two thirds of the pitch. He wasnt an attacking Mid. He played as an 8 off the left. As he does every week. Come on BB open them fucking crusty eyes. You're full of shit. Burger played considerably higher up the pitch than Laurent. It was a 2:1 midfield. |

We should not get carried away on Saturday, we scored out of nowhere at a time Coventry were well on top. Why? Because they squeezed us second half and our midfield crumbled, Thompson couldn't get no the ball and dictate play. He is a useful squad player but not good enough defensively or creatively to be the starting pivot in a team with ambition. Pearson is better at every facet of the role and both have the same yellow card fetish Thompson's job isn't to dictate play. His job when in possession is to play a simple pass to someone who can dictate the play. Second half Cov had all the possession for most of the half, Thompson doing the side of his job without the ball, combined with Gibson and Wilmot having good games meant it limited Cov to 1 shot on target in 90mins. And to be fair to the rest of the midfield I wouldn't say any of them crumbled if we're only letting them have one attempt on target. People think the game was won with Bakers goal, but the game was won by Thompson, Gibson and Wilmot keeping us in a position where we could still win the game with one extra chance. Beautiful team performance by the lads. Spot on. If there's one thing we have failed to do over the last 5 years it's earn the right to be lucky. You do that by not doing anything wank for as long as possible. We have been metronomically consistent at doing something wank. Last year, if we could have packaged all our wank moments into a few hammerings instead of spreading them out so neatly, one per game, over an entire season, we'd have been far better off. Thankfully, With the exception of Gooch's bizarre descent into old age during the half time interval, nobody did anything really shit anywhere near their own goal on Saturday. And that about sums up the championship, it's more about not doing something shit, than it is about doing something great. |

Generally one bit of quality will win you the game. |

It's another body in the building.
Hopefully he's one of those young players where their 2nd loan spell is more productive than the 1st.

Good player in a free flowing football side. Plus he has already scored at the bet365. Very Cundly.

Nice one.
Tasty little player. Blackburn did for us what we did for Hull with Delap.
Good signing
PS we went for him last year but without Walters and Darno fell short. The times they are a changin

Does this mean no Cundle? No worries as long as this guy’s as good or better. Seems to be an attacking mid?

Could be a very good signing, shame as I would have loved Cundle back, probably Wolves priced him out of our reach.
